"Joe Haden was missing two things when he started as a freshman for the Gators in 2007.
Playing on offense his whole life, Haden was lacking the confidence a cornerback needs to play against receivers in the Southeastern Conference.
He also was without another lock-down corner to play on the other side of the field.
A year of experience and the arrival of Janoris Jenkins started the turn-around after an awful season for Haden and the rest of the pass defense in 2007.
Haden and Jenkins quickly became one of the best cornerback tandems in the nation as the rest of the defense also improved, transforming into one of the nation's top units on the way to a BCS title."
